  • Patent number: 9937518
    Abstract: An application nozzle for an application system for gel-like or pasty compositions. The application nozzle includes an inlet region and an outlet region for the composition, and a plane, extending in a longitudinal direction of the application nozzle. The outlet region includes a contact region for the application nozzle on a substrate standing perpendicular to the plane and an outlet opening for the composition. The contact region and the outlet opening are delineated from one another structurally as two separate sections that are kinked with respect to one another, and the contact region is at least partly slanted.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170297049
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an adapter piece for an application device for multicomponent materials, including multicomponent adhesives or multicomponent sealants. The application device has at least one first cartridge receiving device for receiving a first replaceable cartridge containing a first material component, at least one second cartridge receiving device for receiving a second replaceable cartridge containing a second material component, at least one discharging device for discharging the material components out of the cartridges through cartridge outlets, and at least one mixing device for mixing and discharging the material components. A second cartridge receiving area includes a relief chamber such that a material component exiting the second cartridge first fills the relief chamber before entering the mixing device.

  • Patent number: 9242784
    Abstract: A metering and mixing device is disclosed for multi-component substances, such as multi-component adhesives, which includes at least two associated cartridge accommodating devices for accommodating replaceable cartridges having individual substance components, a discharging device for disclosing (e.g., simultaneously discharging) the substance components from the cartridges through component outlets by discharging pistons that plunge into the cartridge accommodating device or cartridges, and a mixing device, which is connected to the component outlets, mixes the discharged substance components, and outputs the substance components in the mixed state. At least one discharging piston can have a thread such that the discharging piston can be driven forward by the thread when the discharging piston is rotated relative to the cartridge accommodating device.
